[Update] A Checklist Of All The Skylanders Swap Force Characters

If you are a parent with a Skylanders fan in the house (or a Skylanders fan yourself), you might be wondering which figures are coming out this year and when you'll be able to get them. This handy checklist will be updated with new information as we have it.

The first thing to know is that this year's set has four different kinds of figures: swap characters, new standard characters, returning characters, and lightcore figures. In addition, there are both adventure packs (a bundle with a new level, two items, and an exclusive character) and battle packs (two characters and a new multiplayer arena).

Battle and adventure packs will retail for $25. Swap characters are $15, lightcore figures are $13, and regular characters are $10. Swap characters can switch their tops and bottoms with others (there are 16 in total). Series 2 and Series 3 returning figures have an ultimate "Wow Pow" ability. Lightcore figures glow on the portal and also explode and deal damage when entering the game.

As a reminder, all your figures work across platforms, and the Spyro's Adventure and Giants characters are usable in Swap Force.

Mr Futter.
I don't want to sound rude. But I dont think there is even one person who frequents GI, and is a dedicated skylander fan. So I am pretty sure your abilities are wasted making Skylander related articles.
And as for doing them for parents on GI who to make sure their kids own every single one of these toys. Well lets just say such a list should be kept well away from said parents, so they can buy their kids something they wont throw out in 3 years time, and maybe even get themselves something for a change.

Already spent he Christmas money. They will be two for one soon enough anyway. Thanks activision, good timing. Quick skylanders pro tip, you can use them without opening the package so if they aren't a fun guy you can take them back. He'll even if they are fun you can take the whole lot back with your reciept

Sorry, Mike, but I gotta call BS. I've been trying to find Trap Shadow (which doesn't seem to appear on any of your SF waves) or Stink Bomb for an hour so I can buy them for my kids. If they are available at "most retailers," you must have access to different ones than me. What's the deal?
